NOTW Information Thread

In what way? They're not supposed to be in any kind of order.

chand and thomas games are both there while CCRunner's isn't...

 

[TheForestAuro]

I would like to sign up as a Host for NotW: XXXII, unless anyone objects. :]

 

[oyzar]

You won't get that number i am sure .

 

[PaulusIII]

My planned NOTW is somewhere in design phase. I know what I want to do and have a general outline, but it's of course not ready to go yet. It's somewhere on the list - whenever I'm up front in the queue I'm sure I can run it.

 

[Backwards Logic]

Just a note for the numbering: I think the numbers assigned to each NOTW should be changed. "Reserving" numbers to players as they sign up then not hosting them in that order is going to be a bit confusing. For example, while LightFang was supposed to host XXII, I did, and yet mine's listed as number XXIII. Ditto Renata's, who should have XXIII and yet its listed as XXVI. I think it should stop this bouncing around and each game should be numbered in order as played. Otherwise, the GM won't know what number they are 'supposed' to be. Let's make this simple, shall we? It's become apparent that the games aren't going to be hosted in the order they sign up, so why number them when people sign up?

Yeah the numbers have always been redundant really. People don't really reserve the number, I will delete them at some point.

Well, the good news is you updated the front page!
The bad news is the roman numerals are still there and still confusing to the casual observer. Will these be corrected in the near (emphasis on 'near') future? If you don't have time, pm me and we'll come up with a solution.

 

[TheForestAuro]

Well, I mean to say, I would like to host one, number regardless!

 

[Maniacal]

So.. which is the next NoTW? I have time for one more before school after the current one.

 

[CCRunner]

It will be mine. The sign up thread is written and will go up sometime tomorrow. Now I just need to decide on a name...

 

[Diamondeye]

I thought you had settled on Ken Follett's "Pillars of the Earth"?

 

[CCRunner]

Nah, that was for the MNotW, but then I scrapped that idea and thought of a new one, just one without a title. Well it originally had a title, but it doesn't really fit....

 

[Diamondeye]

Blah blah, less talk, more sign-up post

 

[CCRunner]

NotW XXVI is here

I really like the idea of the name of the games based on books. It also helps provide a sort of outline for the setting right? I'm really anxious for Game of Thrones to start and was overjoyed to sign up because I love that series so much!

 

[Renata]

With LightFang apparently out of commission for the moment, did someone else have a mini-NOTW ready to go?

 

[CCRunner]

I was supposed to but there's no way I'm running two back to back/at the same time, even if one is mini

 

[TheForestAuro]

I can do one if you give me like a day or two to write one up. It'll give me some practice

 

[Winston Hughes]

I can't run mine yet, either. Aside from the fact I simply don't have time at present, there are couple of rather serious problems in my game mechanics, and I'm now not sure that what I had planned will work at all. Some of it can definitely be salvaged, but it looks like taking a major rethink. In any case, I don't anticipate being ready before the end of the month.

 

[Methos]

What exactly is the difference between a mini-notw and a notw? Is it just the size, or what?

 

[CCRunner]

The mini ones are smaller (duh) and designed so that people who die within the first few days aren't stuck without a notw for to long
